We grew up eating cola-glazed ham at parties, so it was only a matter of time before we started experimenting. This glaze has a great tangy-sweet flavor with a little bite from the mustard and cayenne.

Ingredients:

1⁄2 boneless ham (3 to 4 pounds)
1 cup white wine
2 1⁄2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons molasses
Pinch cayenne pepper
2 cups ginger ale
2 tablespoons honey

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 300°F. Place ham in a roasting pan. In a medium saucepan, combine the wine, mustard, molasses, and cayenne. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger ale. Pour the glaze over the ham. Bake for 1 1⁄2 hours.

Increase oven temperature to 325°F. Bake for 1 hour more, basting the ham every 15 minutes. Brush the ham with the honey. Bake for 30 minutes more, basting every 15 minutes, until the ham is well glazed. Slice and serve.
